Why though did George decide to dub the PT aliens instead of subtitle them?
It makes Chewie, Greedo and Jabba look stupid since everyone can speak English but them (nevermind the Ewoks, since they've never encountered offworlders). Ooh... and it makes me wonder which they're going to do for the sequels.
My guess is it was an ease-of-watching choice.
The Neimoidians are dubbed, I assumed because they have a LOT of dialogue. They also speak to eachother, meaning who conversations would be subtitled.
The Geonosians are subtitled because they speak so much less. Greedo and Jabba are both subtitled, and they all carry on conversations with people who speak English, so there's not to much reading involved.
